Question
If two charged particles (the charge on each is $Q$ ) are separated by a distance $d$, there is a force $F$ between them. What is the force if the magnitude of each charge is doubled and the distance between them changes to $2 d ?$
Step 1
Mathematically, this can be represented as: \[ F = \frac{{kQ^2}}{{d^2}} \] Show more…

Two particles having charges Q1 and q2 exert a force f on each other, when they are placed at a certain distance. What will be the force between them, if the distance between them is reduced to half and the charge on each particle is doubled?
Two particles having charges q1? and q2? exert a force F on each other, when they are placed at a certain distance. What will be the force between them, if the distance between them is reduced to half and the charge on each particle is doubled ?
The electric force between two charges $Q_{1}$ and $Q_{2}$ a distance $r$ apart is given by $F=k \frac{Q_{1} Q_{2}}{r^{2}},$ where $k$ is a constant. (a) If both charges double, by what factor does the force between them increase? (b) If both charges double but the force between them stays the same, by what factor did their separation change?
